It appears that Segolene Royal is hoping to revive her campaign after a series of problems but the French papers agreed it was a solid but disappointing performance, which wont have done much to help her chances in the election.
Opinion polls published just hours before Segolene Royal’s TV appearance showed that less than a quarter of people intended to vote for her in the first round of the ballot, however, Ms Royal played down her current poor showing, saying we still have plenty of time before the election.
Nicolas Sarkozy, the main centre-right candidate is ahead of Segolene Royal by 10 points.
